Globix Corporation Completes Offer to Purchase $40 million of its Senior Notes


NEW YORK, Feb. 27, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Globix Corporation (OTCBB:GBXX), a leading provider of managed Internet applications and infrastructure services, today announced it had received the tender of $97,956,711 in principal amount of its 11% Senior Notes due 2008 ("Notes"). Under the terms of the offer, Globix will purchase $40,274,000 of the tendered, outstanding Notes for cash at par plus accrued interest. This offer is being funded with a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of its property located at 415 Greenwich Street in New York, New York which closed on January 22, 2004. In that the value of tendered bonds exceeded the offer to purchase, the purchase will be conducted on a pro-rata basis. Replacement notes will be issued to tendering noteholders for the balance of their unpurchased notes, where necessary.

The offer expired at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on February 25, 2004. Payment for tendered Notes will be made in same-day funds on March 3, 2004.

"With the sale of Greenwich Street and now the nearly 40% reduction in our long-term debt, we can turn all of our energies back to accelerating and sustaining the Company's growth, while continuing to streamline its operations," said Pete Stevenson, Globix's CEO.
